How many Americans are delaying their dental check-ups due to COVID?
Most of us have been doing everything we can to stay inside in order to reduce the transmission of the coronavirus. By limiting our public encounters to a minimum, it means some aspects of our personal health, such as dental check-ups, have also been limited due to many of us prioritizing social distancing over comparative issues.
